Answer:

A vertical line is a line that goes straight up and down, parallel to the y-axis. The equation of a vertical line is of the form x = a, where 'a' represents the x-coordinate of any point on the line.

In this case, the points (-3, 5) and (-3, 4) have the same x-coordinate of -3. Therefore, the equation of the vertical line that passes through these points is x = -3.

Since the slope-intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept, the equation y = -3 is already in slope-intercept form.

Therefore, the equation of the vertical line that contains the points (-3, 5) and (-3, 4) is y = -3.
